Rating: 2/4 -- Though a sincere attempt was made to depict the problems surrounding black-white relationships, the characters in the film lack definition. Full Review
TV Guide

Rating: 2/5 -- This lack of convincing motivation is the fatal weakness of the film. Full Review

Though not a success, this independent black-and-white drama... is an unusual and thoughtful effort. Full Review

Product Description:

An account of the last years of Charlie "Bird" Parker. Richie "Eagle" Coles is a jazz saxophonist with a genius for friendship and self-destruction. Whether blowing Arabesques on his horn after-hours at a New York nightclub or cadging money for drinks and drugs, Eagle's power and charisma are undeniable. So is the steep downward trajectory of his flight.
